Dimension Game Empire Chapter 074

“What exactly happened?”

A sense of panic and unease spread among the banquet’s attendees. Although the missile crisis had been resolved by the mysterious girl standing on the sea, it was followed by fear of such an unexpected event.

Looking at the noisy dance party, the Kyōgokuin family head angrily questioned his subordinates. Almost losing his life without realizing it was something that even he, with his deep composure, felt deeply afraid of.

“It… it was an attack by GHQ! Intelligence has come from the main family that someone saw GHQ conducting military exercises on the coast.”

What?! The Kyōgokuin family head revealed a shocked expression.

Why would GHQ attack him? He knew that although he had cooperated with Funeral Parlor to resist GHQ, it had always been done in secret. Every month, he paid huge sums of money to GHQ officials for bribes and payoffs, allowing him to develop and survive.

“Everyone, quiet down.”

The Kyōgokuin elder’s deep and authoritative voice immediately silenced the dance party. He scanned the people below the stage, then loudly ordered his subordinates beside him.

“Find out the information about that girl on the sea, and then quickly connect me to Major General Yang, I want to properly ask him why he is attacking us capitalists who have made great contributions to society. If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer…”

Using these righteous words, the Kyōgokuin elder successfully suppressed the scene. However, before he could continue speaking, a snicker came from below the stage.

This made the Kyōgokuin elder angrily look over, but—the moment he saw the identity of the snickering person, the old man revealed a shocked expression.

“Ar… Arisa?!”

But soon, he frowned and rebuked, “I don’t remember the Kyōgokuin family teaching you to be such an ill-mannered woman, actually laughing at the words of your elders…”

“Laughing? Am I not just stating the facts?”

Arisa interrupted him, making the old man look at her in surprise again. The girl took a deep breath, her eyes becoming firm and sharp, and then the girl revealed a mocking expression.

“Capitalists who make great contributions to society??—Hypocritical words, on one hand, you live a precarious existence under GHQ by relying on bribes, and on the other hand, you invest in terrorist organizations, dreaming of restoring the country.”

Arisa coldly looked at the old man in the seat, and said coldly.

“You are nothing more than parasites who want to survive and also desire to control more power.”

“Arisa!!”

The old man looked at his granddaughter with anger. The old man’s anger was not only because Arisa had leaked the family’s secrets, but also because he had noticed the girl’s change.

Arisa was no longer the puppet or vase that he could manipulate at will. A sacrifice that could only live as the family’s political bargaining chip.

This kind of change was the most unbearable thing for the Kyōgokuin elder, who had a strong desire for control.

The guests looked at Arisa and the angry Kyōgokuin elder on the stage in shock.

The Kyōgokuin Financial Group is the largest financial group in Japan after the war, and its power is almost all over Japan. Even GHQ, although they knew that the Kyōgokuin family was just superficially obedient, had never fallen out with them.

Once the Kyōgokuin Financial Group fell, the entire Japan would suffer irreparable damage. This was unacceptable to GHQ (the United States), who longed to occupy Japan.

It was also for this reason that the Kyōgokuin elder was almost silently killed by a GHQ missile this time.

The guests who reacted were all afraid of the angry old man, fearing that they would be implicated. The gazes looking at Arisa also carried pity and ridicule.

However, facing her grandfather’s gaze, Arisa did not waver in the slightest.

The words she had just said to her grandfather were not taught to her by anyone, and they were not even in Xia Yan’s plan. This was entirely an idea spoken out of the girl’s ‘personal will’.

An idea spoken by an independent person.

Although Arisa’s dependence on Xia Yan was getting higher and higher due to the high assimilation of the Void, Arisa’s heart was filled with unwillingness when she realized that Xia Yan was only using her.

Why—whether it was Xia Yan or her grandfather, they only regarded her as a puppet that could be used. If the Kyōgokuin elder’s use aroused Arisa’s hatred for him.

Then, Xia Yan’s use aroused the girl’s unwillingness. This unwillingness gradually accumulated in the past half month and evolved into the current situation.

“Take her down.”

The Kyōgokuin elder ordered with a gloomy face.

But… his subordinates did not move.

Then the old man discovered that the private armed forces loyal to him had collapsed on the ground at some point.

“Chuckle—”

Arisa laughed again, looking at the old man’s face that showed panic. The awe and fear of her grandfather that had accumulated since childhood gradually disappeared.

She elegantly clapped her hands, and with her gesture, the atmosphere of the banquet completely changed.

At some point, many of the waiters silently removed their disguises, revealing black combat uniforms. Some of the guests who were still talking eloquently a second ago also turned into one of them.

There were also black special forces emerging from all parts of the cabin.

The black muzzles surrounded everyone.

The completely different development from what was expected shocked everyone present as they looked at Arisa. Meeting everyone’s gaze, Arisa slowly stepped onto the dance stage and walked to her grandfather’s side.

“Please, hand over the position of the Kyōgokuin family head to me.”

The girl smiled gracefully, using a declarative tone.

Tonight’s dance party is her home field.

“Arisa…”

Looking at Arisa’s posture in the dance banquet hall, Xia Yan was a little dazed. The girl’s state was completely out of his control, but fortunately, he was not a person with a strong desire for control like the Kyōgokuin elder, so he was not angry.

Xia Yan turned his head to look at Yūdachi on the sea. Unlike the usual impression she gave, the girl’s heroic side was revealed in this night battle.

The sea is Yūdachi’s home field.

And in the distant land, Remilia was also lurking in the darkness, launching a fatal blow at the moment when the enemy was most relaxed.

Night—of course, is the vampire’s home field.

“Ha… I’m really free tonight…”

Xia Yan, who had really played the role of a bystander, complained about himself with dead fish eyes.

However, he didn’t hate this feeling of reaping the benefits. After all, these girls were, in a sense, doing things for him. Moreover, this was all a layout he had planned himself.
